    In my opinion , this paper can be summarize as follows . Quadratus plantae apart , toe grip dynamometers are more or less useless for looking at intrinsic toe flexor strength . However , many researchers persist .

    Interesting . This paper looks at treatment in a falls/ balance clinic . Of the people studied 90% had weak foot muscles but only 50% were treated for this with exercises.

    Quoting further from the paper "Those with weakness of the hallux and lesser toes had poorer balance and mobility, which is known to be associated with greater falls risk."

    Why were only 50% given foot strengthening exercises ? Even if compliance with exercise therapy is low, shouldn't patients be allowed to make informed choices?
